[edit | edit source]

During his studies at University College Cork, Flahive was selected for the college's senior football team. On 20 February 2019, he won a Sigerson Cup medal after lining out at full-back in the 0-16 to 1-09 win over St. Mary's University College in the final.[2]

Douglas

[edit | edit source]

Flahive joined the Douglas club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels. He first enjoyed success with the club's minor team, claiming a Premier 1 Minor Championship medal after a defeat of St. Finbarr's in 2013, before winning an under-21 title after a win over Cill na Martra in 2017.[3][4] By this stage Flahive had joined the Douglas senior team, having made his debut in a 0-09 to 0-05 win over Newcestown during the 2014 Cork County Championship.[citation needed]

Flahive first played for Cork when he was drafted onto the Cork minor team for the 2013 Munster Minor Championship.[5] Once again eligible for the grade the following year, he was appointed team captain and was at full-back when Cork suffered a 2-17 to 2-13 defeat by Kerry in the 2014 Munster final.[6]

Flahive progressed onto the Cork under-21 team in advance of the 2016 Munster Under-21 Championship. He ended the campaign with a winners' medal after a 3-09 to 1-14 win over Kerry in the final.[7] On 30 April 2016, Flahive was at left wing-back when Cork suffered a 5-07 to 1-13 defeat by Mayo in the All-Ireland final.[8]

On 27 January 2018, Flahive made his first appearance for the Cork senior team when he lined out at right wing-back in a 3-16 to 1-16 defeat by Tipperary in the opening round of the 2018 National League.[9] He made his championship debut on 26 May 2018 when he played at left corner-back in a 1-17 to 0-09 win over Tipperary in the Munster semi-final.[10] Flahive was switched to centre-back for the subsequent 3-18 to 2-04 defeat by Kerry in the Munster final.[11]

After a second successive Munster final defeat by Kerry in 2019, Flahive claimed his first senior silverware when Cork secured the delayed National League Division 3 title after remaining undefeated for the entire campaign in 2020.[12][13]
